It's said in the 44 00:02:46,053 --> 00:02:49,093 Speaker 3: nineteen nineties there's real attent into the music, Like if 45 00:02:49,133 --> 00:02:51,453 Speaker 3: you remember the nineteen nineties and drum and bass, then 46 00:02:51,493 --> 00:02:54,813 Speaker 3: you'll be right back there in those moments. But these 47 00:02:54,853 --> 00:03:00,853 Speaker 3: teenagers are really difficult. This is probably the last chance 48 00:03:00,893 --> 00:03:04,133 Speaker 3: that they have. This is a place where people are care. 49 00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:07,013 Speaker 4: For them and look after them and really trying to 50 00:03:07,133 --> 00:03:10,773 Speaker 4: make sure that they can have a future because you know, 51 00:03:10,893 --> 00:03:13,973 Speaker 4: schools have are done with them. 52 00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:16,373 Speaker 3: You know, often their parents are done with them, societies 53 00:03:16,373 --> 00:03:17,573 Speaker 3: done with them. They're in trouble. 54 00:03:17,613 --> 00:03:20,093 Speaker 4: They have learning disabilities, they have mental health issues that 55 00:03:20,293 --> 00:03:22,853 Speaker 4: you know, they deal with trauma and things. So this 56 00:03:23,293 --> 00:03:29,413 Speaker 4: school really does have yeah is taking them. It's the 57 00:03:29,493 --> 00:03:31,453 Speaker 4: last time for these kids to really find their feet 58 00:03:31,893 --> 00:03:34,893 Speaker 4: and Stephen his team treat them with a lot of respect. 59 00:03:35,253 --> 00:03:37,053 Speaker 4: They refuse to give up on them. But the problem 60 00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:40,213 Speaker 4: is that the school is about to close. So this 61 00:03:40,293 --> 00:03:42,453 Speaker 4: film actually just takes place of a twenty four hours 62 00:03:42,573 --> 00:03:45,813 Speaker 4: Jack and We have.
